Joseph from Te Atatu South

Te Atatu Food Truck Fridays is back this Friday April 1st. There will be a selection of Auckland’s best street food and the Te Atatu South vinyl collective spinning tunes. The night will also feature Te Atatu’s repair café in the community centre. Bring along your items to be fixed. Save the date at www.facebook.com....

April 1st - 4:30pm to 8:30pm – Te Atatu South Community Centre.


The food trucks joining us on the night will be:

- Captain Kai Moana - will be serving up classic NZ kaimoana goodness like mouth-watering scallops in fry bread, chowder pockets and the occasional scrumptious crayfish. They will be bringing two cooking rigs instead of the usual one to deal with demand!

- Nom Nom – South East Asian inspired rice bowls brimming with flavour

- Manila Eats – Primo Pinoy inspired gourmet rolls and other tasty treats

- Mama Yoya's - Everyone's favourite authentic Mexican cuisine queen

- The Langos Lady - Hungarian Fried Bread with sweet and savoury toppings

- Kookie Haus/ Doughnut Haus - Next level cookies and doughnuts

- Victor and Vern - Serving your coffee, iced chocolate and homemade soda fix.


This night will be a bit different to past seasons and will be an outdoor takeaway picnic event in line with the covid restrictions in place. Plenty of space in Lloyd Morgan Park to spread out and enjoy some tasty food. As we are takeaway, no covid pass checks required or no queues to get in.

Plenty of parking available. Walking or cycling up is even easier. Take part in the Bike Te Atatu buycycle event with a chance to win prizes. We hope to see people come out again to support the food trucks and community.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
